description: Guide for testing Codex TUI interactively
---

You can start and use Codex TUI to verify changes. 

Important notes:

Start interactively.
Always set RUST_LOG="trace" when starting the process.
Pass `-c log_dir=<some_temp_dir>` argument to have logs written to a specific directory to help with debugging.
When sending a test message programmatically, send text first, then send Enter in a separate write (do not send text + Enter in one burst).
Use `just codex` target to run - `just codex -c ...`

SkillDescription
babysit-prBabysit a GitHub pull request after creation by continuously polling review comments, CI checks/workflow runs, and mergeability state until the PR is merged/closed or user help is required. Diagnose failures, retry likely flaky failures up to 3 times, auto-fix/push branch-related issues when appropriate, and keep watching open PRs so fresh review feedback is surfaced promptly. Use when the user asks Codex to monitor a PR, watch CI, handle review comments, or keep an eye on failures and feedback on an open PR.

codex-bugDiagnose GitHub bug reports in openai/codex. Use when given a GitHub issue URL from openai/codex and asked to decide next steps such as verifying against the repo, requesting more info, or explaining why it is not a bug; follow any additional user-provided instructions.
codex-issue-digestRun a GitHub issue digest for openai/codex by feature-area labels, all areas, and configurable time windows. Use when asked to summarize recent Codex bug reports or enhancement requests, especially for owner-specific labels such as tui, exec, app, or similar areas.
codex-pr-bodyUpdate the title and body of one or more pull requests.
imagegenGenerate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when Codex should create a brand-new image, transform an existing image, or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas.
